How do I know which Q Magnet to use?

As with any task, you need the right tool for the job. Q Magnets can be a great friend, but with 20+ models it helps to know a little about each one to find out who’s your best friend.

Q magnets models come in various dimensions, polarities and strengths. These features determine the characteristics of magnetic field of the device. To generalize, higher number of poles will cover the area closer to the skin or the magnet, smaller size will reduce the depth of penetration.

For further learning on how the size, polarity (quadrapolar, hexapolar, octapolar, etc) affects the magnetic field, please see detailed information on device selection. See the Q Magnets products page and scroll to the individual magnets section for a description of each device, including the sizes and penetration depths.

An easy to use resource, is the Body Map provided on our How to Use Q Magnets page to find recommended magnets, placements and application protocols based on our research and experience using acupuncture and physiotherapy principles.

The easiest choice to try Q magnets for the first time are the Q Bonus Packages which have a variety of magnets for both small and large joints, and acupoints.

The Q Blankets are also a great choice if you're looking for comfortable sleep-time magnetic therapy.  One can use Q Blankets as a throw-over / blanket or simply lie on top and use as mattress pads. We've been told they feel heavenly!
